"Lord Xiao, may I ask, is Situ Kong in your hands?" Wei Yuan stared at Xiao Xi and asked, his tone was not good, and Xiao Xi frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, "Who is Situ Kong?"

"He is the second-in-command of the Wenzhou Pirates. My lord may have met him before. A few days ago we encircled and suppressed this group of thieves, but unfortunately the leader ran away. Presumably...he fled to my lord, right?" Wei Wei Yuan Yuan's tone seemed respectful, but Xiao Xi's expression was set in his eyes.

Xiao Xi's expression was light, and a sneer slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "Master Wei, did you see that Situ Kong came to look for us or what? If there is no evidence, then it's just empty words!"

Wei Yuan chuckled, "I don't dare to slander, but one of my spies went out to inspect a few days ago and saw Lord Xiao and the prince drinking tea with Wei Yuan in the theater."

"Even so, we can't bear Master Wei's big hat of hiding criminals on us! We met each other, could it be that we are hiding?" Xiao Xi's eyes were faintly stern, and his tone became colder .

"By the way, Mr. Wei specially picks places to eat to scare me, is he deliberately making me unable to eat?" Xiao Xi said suddenly again, picking up a dish with his chopsticks.

Wei Yuan's face darkened in an instant, and he said coldly, "Then I'll come and find Master Xiao next time." After speaking, he turned around and strode away. Xiao Xi looked at Wei Yuan's leaving back, and put down his chopsticks with a heavy expression. I really can't eat it.

"Okay, this Wei Yuan is capable, let's go relax for two days, and he also made our itinerary clear!"

Chu Haotian's tone was dangerous, and his whole body exuded a cold air.

"I'm not annoyed by him, I want to know what is his purpose for arranging us in this way." Xiao Xi's tone was light, and he was leaning over the desk to read the official business.

Chu Haotian looked back at him, and approached him, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Xiao Xi's eyes changed, "He dares?"

Chu Haotian smiled, bowed his head and kissed his lips, "My man, of course he dare not move. However, his actions this time proved what Situ Kong said, he is guilty!" Chu Haotian's eyes darkened A flash of contempt.

"Let him investigate! If he really finds out that someone is with us, then it's really his job!" Standing up slowly, Chu Haotian's face gradually darkened, and his eyes flashed sternly.

What Xiao Xi said was the truth, Situ Kong was not in their hands, but whether Wei Yuan believed it or not was another matter.

"Are you dealing with your shitty business again?" Chu Haotian turned his head, his brows slightly frowned, feeling dissatisfied.

"Zhao Youjing will be back in a few days, and then he won't have to stay busy until late at night." Xiao Xi comforted him.

Chu Haotian raised his eyebrows, "Let me ask you, who is the richest man in the dynasty today?"

Xiao Xi was startled by his words, choked his throat, and coughed a few times.

"Hmm..." Xiao Xi pondered for a moment, "I don't know about this either."

"Xie'er, don't play dumb, who else is there besides Zhao Youjing, a big profiteer? Isn't it you behind Zhao Youjing?"

Xiao Xi: "?" Why did you suddenly ask this today? "

"I know that the tax you pay every year is a lot of money, even the emperor is shocked by you sometimes."

Xiao Xi was silent for a while, his eyes darkened, "Hao Tian, ​​what do you want to express?"

"I want to ask you, do you have any plans to expand your family property to such a large extent?" Chu Antian looked at him with clear eyes, but he couldn't see any scheming.

Xiao Xi stood up, intending to tell the truth.

"When I was in the Dark Prince's Mansion, I felt that I would leave one day, so I just wanted to find a way out for myself. I didn't expect that it would become bigger and bigger today." Xiao Xi said sincerely, his eyes fixed on him for a moment. Looking at Chu Haotian.

"Okay, now you have found a way out, but I just beg you not to leave." Chu Antian pulled him into his arms.

Xiao Xi froze for a moment, raised his arms and hugged him hesitantly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Actually, Chu Haotian was just uneasy...

In the early morning of the next day, the two of them went to the morning court, and when the morning court was over, Chu Haotian went to the imperial study to discuss matters with the emperor.Just as Xiao Xi stepped out of the court hall, he caught up with someone behind him.

"Master Xiao stay here."

Xiao Xi looked back in doubt when he heard the words, and smiled lightly when he saw the person coming, "What's your opinion, Mr. He?"

"It's not a good idea, but I just want to talk to Mr. Xiao. I wonder if Mr. Xiao has time?"

Xiao Xi had a smile on his face, but he thought for a while in his heart, this Mr. He is only a few years older than him, and he is considered a nod at the top, and he rarely communicates with each other on weekdays, but today he suddenly stopped him and said he wanted to drink. Talk about it?

"Then invite Mr. He to visit the academy?" Xiao Xi concealed the doubts in his heart, and invited him to the academy.

He said it was Muchao, but Master He was really just chattering, chatting about some gossip about the people in the city, and also told a few interesting stories about the courtiers' mansion.

"I think Mr. He has reached the age to get married, why haven't you heard anything yet?" Xiao Xi asked jokingly, seemingly not intending to bring the topic to this point.

"Oh, I look poor, no girl wants me, so don't mention it?" Mr. He waved his hands and shook his head.

Xiao Xi laughed, and joked, "If Mr. He is poor, no one in this court would dare to marry."

"Hey, it's not like Mr. Xiao has a picture-perfect face. If King Hao hadn't made the reservation first, the matchmaker might have broken through the door of Xiao's mansion, haha."

Xiao Xi lowered his head and smiled, just at this time a female officer sent some files.

"Lord Xiao still has something to do, so I'll leave first." Master He stood up.

Xiao Xi didn't keep him either, "Master He, go slowly^" "Master He is so upbeat today, come to chat with Master Xiao." The female officer held the file and murmured to Master He's back.

"How can you guess other people's thoughts? Go down and get busy first^" "Yes, my lord?" Putting the file on the desk, the female officer went down.

Xiao Xi naturally didn't know what Master He's ultimate goal was, so he thought for a while and went to work.

Chu Haotian didn't go to Xiao Xi's side in the evening because he had something to do.Xiao Xi was looking at the accounts in the study when Tao Zi opened the door and came in.

"My lord, today Cui Yin said that my lord hasn't been there for a long time, and she said that if she has time, she would go and have a look."

Xiao Xi paused the pen in his hand when he heard this, and put it down, "It's not as good as choosing a day, so let's do it now!"

"Yes, I'll help the young master clean up."

After tidying up, the two went to the Drunken Dance Workshop first.Su Mei was entertaining guests, when she saw Xiao Xi coming, she moved her eyebrows to greet her, "My lord hasn't been here for a long time."

It is true that Xiao Xi hasn't been here for a long time, and the number of times he met Su Mei is naturally very few.Su Mei naturally knew the two bosses of Drunken Dance Workshop, one was Zhao Youjing, and the other was Young Master Xiao in front of her.

"If Zhao Youjing hadn't run away, I really don't know when I would come here again." Xiao Xi said frankly, entered the door, Su Mei followed behind.

"Young Master Xiao, long time no see." A boy sprang out from inside with a slightly surprised tone.

Xiao Xi also recognized him, "Xiao Mu?" "It's a shame that Young Master Xiao still recognizes me, Sister Mei, I don't have any guests now, so Young Master Xiao will be entertained by me!"

Su Mei naturally agreed, said hello to Xiao Xi and hurried away.

"Young Master Xiao, please go upstairs." Seeing Xiao Xi now, Xiao Mu's temper seemed to be alive.

Xiao Xi looked at him with a smile, "Compared to before, you are much more cheerful."

"I can't help it. I've been in the brothel all year round, so I have to make myself happy." Xiao Mu smiled and led Xiao Xi into the private room.

"By the way, what's the reason for Mr. Zhao's sudden departure?" Xiaomu asked unintentionally as he pushed the door in.

It was only then that Xiao Xi remembered that Xiaomu had been with Zhao Youjing for a while, and now Zhao Youjing took Xiao Huan's people to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, "He went out to play."

"Foot, Mr. Zhao has a big heart, he wants to play while doing so many things."

Xiao Xi sat down, and Xiao Mu poured wine for him.

"However, I heard that Mr. Zhao has found the one who is destined." Xiaomu said seriously, but only in a tone that seemed to be talking about unimportant matters.

Xiao Xi looked at him without answering.

After being lonely in the air for a while, Xiao Mu poured the wine and looked up at Xiao Xi suspiciously, and suddenly understood.

"Your Excellency, you don't think I have something for Mr. Zhao, do you?"

Xiao Xi looked away, smiled and did not answer, picked up the poured wine and drank it.

"Young Master Xiao, you should rest assured that Xiaomu knows his identity. It's just Mr. Zhao who can talk with Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Xi put down his wine glass, "Xiao Mu, everyone is an independent individual, without identity. I just thought that you treated Zhao Youjing...?

Xiaomu shook his head, "I don't have that kind of thought about Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao just treats me, but it's just like a guest who has been raised with money for a while. People like us have no feelings..."

"Who says there is no emotion?"

Xiao Mu paused.

The corner of Xiao Xi's mouth raised a faint smile, "Xiao Mu, as long as he is human, he must have feelings."

The corners of Xiaomu's eyes suddenly felt wet, "Sure enough, the young master is a very good person."

"It's not good or bad, it's the truth..."

Suddenly a sound interrupted Xiao Xi's words, someone rushed in from the window.

Tao Cheng immediately improved his habits.

A hasty voice sounded, "Xiao Mu, pour me some water, I'm dying of thirst, the three of them paused when they heard the voice, and took a closer look, isn't this the Zhao Youjing they just discussed?

"Mr. Zhao, why did you do this?" The corners of Xiaomu's mouth twitched, did he really go for a play with this disheveled look?

"Stop talking, I want water."

Xiaomu hurriedly poured water and brought it in front of his eyes, Zhao Youjing immediately snatched it up and drank it. After drinking, he finally came back to life, regained his energy, and when he looked up, he was instantly trembling with fright.

"Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Xi, why are you here?"

"Zhao Youjing!"

Someone broke in through the window again, and it was a handsome boy who came in. At this time, his whole body was cold and his face was extremely cold.

"Mr. Zhao, is this your lover?" Xiao Mu is also bold at the moment, and actually wants to play tricks.

When Zhao Youjing found out, Xiaomu's hands wrapped around Zhao Youjing's waist at some point, looking extremely intimate.

The face of the cold-faced man on the opposite side was even more ugly, his brows were frowned, and he stared at Zhao Youjing, "Who is he?"

"He...I..." Zhao Youjing was at a loss, couldn't explain clearly at all, wanted to push Xiaomu away, but also wanted to go forward to comfort his wife, his head was flustered^ The cold-faced boy took a look at the two of them, turned and left, and went out through the window .

"Rin'er." Zhao Youjing's heart tightened, he pushed Xiaomu away and chased after him.

The two hurriedly disappeared through the window again.

Xiao Mu was pushed to the ground, stood up without paying attention, and patted his clothes.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be serious this time." Xiaomu smiled mischievously.

Xiao Xi shook his head helplessly, "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Lord Xiao, I'm fine."

"En." Xiao Xi looked at him, his eyes gradually darkened, it seemed that Xiao Mu still cared about Zhao Youjing a little bit!
